 The First World War caused a great divide in Greek politics pitting the adherents of Venizelos' [[Liberal Party]] against the conservative [[Popular Party]] followers. [[King Constantine I]] ended any pretense of being a monarch above politics, siding decisively with the anti-war faction. Finally, officers loyal to Venizelos established the "National Defence" government in Salonica, inviting Venizelos to take power. Greece was split in two with rival governments and the Allies finally took action forcing the King into exile. Greece participated in the war with 11 infantry divisions and its Air Force. Through victory at the [[Battle of Skra]], the Greeks and the Allies were able to make a breakthrough in the Macedonian front, leading to Bulgaria's signing an armistice on [[September 29]], [[1918]]. This was the first front to collapse in World War I, significant in that it left the South side of the Central Powers unprotected.

 More than 9 million died on the war's battlefields, and nearly that many more on the home fronts because of food shortages and genocide committed under the cover of various civil wars and internal conflicts (e.g. the Armenian genocide). In World War I about 5% of the casualties (directly caused by the war) were civilian - in World War II, this figure was 50%.
-World War I proved to be the decisive break with the old world order. Four empires were shattered: the German, the Austro-Hungarian, the Ottoman, and the Russian. Their four dynasties, the Hohenzollerns, the Habsburgs, the Ottomans, and the Romanovs, who had roots of power back to the days of the Crusades, all fell during the war.  The French Empire survived with little change; the British Empire saw the semi-independence of Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.

	On [[November 11]], an armistice with Germany was signed in a railroad carriage at Compiègne in France. At 1100 hours that day, a ceasefire came into effect and the opposing armies began to withdraw from their positions. The state of war between the two sides persisted for another seven months until it was finally ended by the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on [[June 28]], [[1919]] with Germany and the following treaties with Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and The Ottoman Empire signed at St. Germain, Trianon, [[Treaty of Neuilly\|Neuilly]] and [[Treaty of Sèvres\|Sèvres]].
